Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit breakers, and in particular to a three-phase semiconductor solid-state circuit breaker. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state circuit breakers (SCBs) primarily rely on modern electronic technology to control the operating speed and accuracy of circuit breakers through contactless switching. SCBs integrate various high-end technologies, including microelectronics, modern communication, and sensor technology. Research on SCBs helps improve the stability of my country's transmission lines and the overall level of digital management of the power grid, and is also a major direction for the intelligent and modern development of circuit breakers. Circuit breakers generate a large amount of heat during operation; if this heat is not dissipated in time, malfunctions or even accidents can easily occur.

[0003] Currently, the heat dissipation methods for solid-state circuit breakers mostly involve using heat sinks to dissipate heat through radiation, or installing heat sinks on the main heat-generating components and then radiating the heat inside the solid-state circuit breaker into the air through the outer wall of the solid-state circuit breaker. However, since circuit breakers are usually installed in circuit boxes with other circuit components on both sides, the heat conduction effect of the outer wall of the solid-state circuit breaker is isolated, resulting in limited heat dissipation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a three-phase semiconductor solid-state circuit breaker, which aims to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] This application provides a three-phase semiconductor solid-state circuit breaker, including a circuit breaker body located inside a housing. The housing contains a heat sink and two mounting cavities on either side. The heat sink and the mounting cavities are arranged in a U-shape. The heat sink includes a housing body and heat sinks located within the housing body. The heat sinks are located in the upper half of the housing body, and the lower half of the housing body is a hollow channel. Heat dissipation holes are provided on the four vertical sides of the lower half of the housing body. Heat dissipation openings are provided on the front and rear surfaces of the housing and the housing body. The heat sinks have triangular pointed ends. The heat sink is made of aluminum alloy plate. The housing body is slidably inserted between the two mounting cavities. A three-phase IGBT module and a gate driver board are respectively located in each of the two mounting cavities. Thermal conductive holes are provided on the internal walls of the two mounting cavities, and these thermal conductive holes correspond to the positions of the heat dissipation holes on the left and right sides of the housing body.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer casing has an opening on its convex top, and the tip of the heat sink is located at the opening.

[0007] Furthermore, a positioning bolt is provided on the protruding edge of the outer shell. The positioning bolt is rotatably mounted on the outer shell, and the end of the positioning bolt passes through the outer shell and connects to the internal heat dissipation box.

[0008] Furthermore, the heat-generating components in the three-phase IGBT module and the gate driver board are all mounted close to the walls of the mounting cavity on both sides of the heat sink box.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom tip of the heat sink is located in the hollow channel, and the bottom tip occupies at most 1 / 3 of the total height of the hollow channel.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by using the heat dissipation box and the internal heat dissipation fins together, the hollow channel can first dissipate heat through the air circulation channel formed by the heat dissipation holes on the front and rear sides. If the channels on both sides are occupied by other circuit components, heat dissipation can also be carried out from the top through the heat dissipation fins, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and avoiding the phenomenon of poor heat dissipation caused by the bottom heat dissipation channel not circulating.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 4The diagram illustrates a three-phase semiconductor solid-state circuit breaker. The circuit breaker body is located within a housing 1, which is generally convex in shape with an opening at its top. The housing 1 contains a heat sink 3 and two side mounting cavities 2. The heat sink 3 and the side mounting cavities 2 are convex in shape. The heat sink 3 includes a housing body and heat sink fins 32 located within the housing body. The heat sink fins 32 are located in the upper half of the housing body, while the lower half of the housing body is a hollow channel 31. Heat dissipation holes are provided on all four vertical sides of the lower half of the housing body (front, back, left, and right). The front and back heat dissipation holes 312 are connected to heat dissipation vents 13 on the housing 1, and the left and right heat dissipation holes 313 are connected to heat conduction holes 21 on the mounting cavities 3. The outer shell 1 and the corresponding front and rear sides of the box body are provided with heat dissipation vents 13. The heat sink 32 has triangular pointed ends 321 at both ends. The heat dissipation box 3 is made of aluminum alloy plate. The heat sink 32 and the box body are both made of aluminum alloy heat dissipation substrate, which has good heat conduction function. The box body is slidably inserted between the two mounting cavities 2. The two mounting cavities 2 are respectively provided with a three-phase IGBT module and a gate driver board, which are both common circuit breaker structures. The inner cavity walls of the two mounting cavities 2 are provided with heat conduction holes 21. The heat conduction holes 21 correspond to the heat dissipation holes 312 on the left and right sides of the box body. The heat generated by the heat-generating components in the mounting cavity 2 is diffused into the hollow channel 31 of the heat dissipation box 3 through the heat conduction holes 21 and the heat dissipation holes 312.

[0019] An opening 11 is provided on the convex top of the outer casing 1. The tip of the heat sink 32 is located at the opening 11. The airflow at the top of the outer casing 1 forms a flow channel through the heat sink 32 and the hollow channel 31 inside, thereby dissipating heat from the inside of the circuit breaker.

[0020] The outer shell 1 has a positioning bolt 113 on its protruding edge. The positioning bolt 113 is rotatably mounted on the outer shell 1, and the end of the positioning bolt 113 passes through the outer shell 1 and connects with the internal heat sink 3. Since the heat sink 3 is slidably inserted into the outer shell 1, it can be taken out of the outer shell 1 for cleaning and then reinstalled. By rotating the positioning bolt 113, the heat sink 3 can be completely locked in the outer shell 1 for fixation.

[0021] The heat-generating components in the three-phase IGBT module and the gate driver board are all closely attached to the walls of the mounting cavity 2 on both sides of the heat sink box 3, and are positioned as close as possible to the heat sink box 3 so that heat can be conducted to the hollow channel 31 as soon as possible for heat dissipation, reducing the heat conduction path and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0022] The bottom tip of the heat sink 32 is located in the hollow channel 31, and the bottom tip occupies at most 1 / 3 of the total height of the hollow channel 31. The hollow channel 31 can first dissipate heat through the air flow channel formed by the heat dissipation holes 312 on the front and rear sides. If the channels on both sides are occupied by other circuit components, heat can also be dissipated from the top through the heat sink 31, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
